Hi,

I'm recently looking at changing broadband and have recently signed up for Sky broadband.

However I forgot to check if Sky is using cg-nat and I cannot find similar answer on google. Does anyone know for home broadband if Sky is using cgnat ?

Thanks!

@happymorning93 Sky do not use CG Nat as each connection is assigned a unique public dynamic IP4 address so they can change, are in practice seem pretty sticky - mine has been the same for 6 months or more.

In the last couple of years Sky have moved pools of IP4 addresses from their European operations to the UK to deal with growth.

@happymorning93

So you are not with sky at the minute?

I had a look at my public ip address on the router and it matches the ipv4 address on whatismyip so no cg-nat AFAIK

CGNAT is typically found in cellular data delivery, not fixed-line broadband.
